Which Sonic "Trilogy" cycle/era do you like best?

top 40 squeeze · 04.21.2006, 03:19 PM

Inspired by the sonic phase thread. Someone on the old board loosely grouped SY's records into a chronological series of trilogies that I thought were pretty accurate, although I'm sure there are some arguments for other groupings. But here's how I see it, so which do you think is best? Right now, I myself actually can't decide.

a swell idea

hey alex · 04.21.2006, 03:32 PM

i;ll have to think on it... as there's one favorite album in every part. BMR, evol, goo, WM, nurse... maybe goo.

nomadicfollower · 04.21.2006, 03:40 PM

Even though I don't like EVOL that much I had to go with EVOL/Sister/Daydream Nation.

Murray Street, SN were close behind, but I can't really say because I haven't heard Rather Ripped.

AllHandsOnTheBigOne · 04.21.2006, 04:40 PM

EVOL/Sister/Daydream Nation

Easily. No contest.

HaydenAsche · 04.21.2006, 04:40 PM

Early Eighties.

The right opinion.

Bal · 04.21.2006, 04:45 PM

evol sister daydream nation
these three are my absolute favorites

sonicpollution · 04.21.2006, 04:51 PM

It was a toss-up, but I went with Washing Machine/ATL/NYCG&F

HaydenAsche · 04.21.2006, 04:53 PM

Laf. Goo/Dirty/Shit-album got 0 votes. Good call, everyone.

Neongod · 04.21.2006, 08:30 PM

The "now" era. Not easily, but it's what I find myself listening to the most.

Trasher02 · 04.22.2006, 10:09 AM

samuel · 04.22.2006, 12:10 PM

Washing Machine!
A Thousand Leaves!
NYC Ghosts & Flowers!

the ikara cult · 04.22.2006, 12:29 PM

was that me? Ive always found they grouped well in threes or pairs, just in terms of sound, design, theme etc. Ive gone for the latest 3 despite having not heard rather ripped yet.

toxic johnny · 04.22.2006, 12:38 PM

I like the trilogy cycle theory but It's just damn near impossible for me to say... SY/CIS/BMN was when I first got into them and will always have a special place in my heart... but then again so does E/S/DDN + WM/ATL/NYCG+F what the fuck!

holy-reverb!! · 04.23.2006, 01:37 PM

i love it all man.

FRACTUREDSUNSHINE · 04.23.2006, 03:27 PM

LIStened to all the old stuff so many times it has to be listed to on sellect ocations. So new stuff is new= good.

Spiritual Amnesia · 04.23.2006, 03:49 PM

that´s too difficult
